CaniX Handlers

Jenny Brown

After a car accident three years ago which cut short her career in track and field athletics where she had won 65 World & European  Masters medals and broke many World & European records in a number of events - heptathlon, high jump & triple jump – Jenny knew that she would not be able to high jump for a long time to come so needed a new challenge ……

So how did you get into Cani-cross Jenny?

"I have been in the sport of Cani-cross for 18 months now having finally been told that I could start running again and having been given a Beagle pup, Tiga, for my 50th the challenge began. Tiga needed a lot more exercise than the two Beagles we already had and when I saw a Cani-cross race locally, I decided to have a go.”

Sadly Jenny lost her much loved Beagle, Denby, recently so currently has Tiga and Sanne.

The Cani-cross first season

Jenny says that Tiga was a pure natural and they were hooked.

After only one full season in the sport and converting to CSJ, Tiga and Jenny have incredibly won the National Championships which have been running all through the winter months.

Other successes in Cani-cross Jenny?

"After my first cani-cross race with Tiga we were selected to represent the GB team at the European Cani-cross Championships in Belgium and finished 4th”

Jenny’s most memorable success in athletics...

Breaking her first world record in the high jump at the European Masters Track & Field Championships in the Olympic Stadium in Athens!

"From a background of athletics I know the importance of a good diet which is why I have chosen to feed my dogs CSJ.”  Jenny Brown
